The top 20 or so most common names today will be the top 20 or so old people names in the future.

Robert'); DROP TABLE Students;

Brayden, Brittany. Anything from Game of Thrones.

Hayden Caiden Jaden etc

We're only a couple of decades away from nursing homes being full of Megans.

I'm not sure if it's very common, but Elaine. It's my name and I love it, but I'm already seeing people who think it's kind of an old woman's name! 😅

All of them?

Holly sounds like a sweet name now, but you can almost feel it become the next Nancy.

Renesmee, Nevaeh, Demure, Brightly

Seems like there's a way to analyze this in a systematic way, from social security name data. Any name that popped up as a newly popular name and fell back off within a decade or two would probably eventually become a marker of that generation.

Gladys was popular between 1900 and 1920, and became known as an old lady name by the 80's or 90's.

Karen was popular between 1945 and 1965, and is regarded a prototypical boomer name.

The Baby Jessicas of the 80's will be retirees in the 2050's. Ashleys and Emilys will probably be that in the 2060's. There will be Britneys and Emmas.

But the methodology could probably be applied to the data in a systematic way.

Tabithas everywhere in schools today.

Any of the popular biblical names like John, Mark and Paul.

J-kwolin, Balakay, etc.

Karen has been a very popular name through many years. I imagine it’s dropped close to zero now.

Ella/ellie became way over popular. My kids knew so many girls with those names, more than one in a lot of their classes. No one gives out a name that’s so common

Isabella for dogs. There are so many Bella’s and Izzies. Maybe it’s just my family: my brother got Bella. I got a rescue named izzie and honorable mention to my other brother with Ozzie

When I was in school every third girl was named Jennifer and every third boy was named Christopher. Don't really see either of those nowadays. I'm in my 40s so they're about 15-20 years from being old people names.

Also Karen. The internet ruined that name.

Chad

Mine. I have one of the most common girl's name in the year of my birth. About 10% of my female high school classmates had some variant of that name. I know of one girl under 10 with that name now.

maybe brock or allen. i dunno, infamous names in this generation.

Kevin

Ryder and Luca
